Award Management

Award management occurs after the grant, contract or cooperative agreement has been awarded to the university and the award(s) have been set up in the Enterprise Accounting System. During this stage, the principal investigator (PI) is fulfilling the proposed project and overseeing financial and personnel activity, all while ensuring compliance with university and sponsor policies and procedures.

Sound management of sponsored projects is critical to maintain the public trust in research results and outcomes. Success of a sponsored project is contingent on both the ability of the PI/project director to carry out the project and the university to ensure proper stewardship of the awarded funds.
